Data Insight
Tampa General Hospital's heart transplant program is one of 26 heart programs tracked by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) in the November 2025 Program-Specific Report cohort. The center is located in Florida and reports under SRTR center code FLTG. These program-level statistics are risk-adjusted for recipient and donor characteristics, which means survival estimates account for factors such as age, diagnosis, and prior medical history rather than comparing raw outcomes.
For the current cohort, this program reports a 1-year graft survival rate of 100.0%, compared with a national risk-adjusted benchmark of 85.5% at 1 year. An estimated 0 candidates sit on this program's waiting list, though time-to-transplant depends heavily on OPTN allocation rules for heart, blood type, medical urgency, and geography.
Among the 26 heart transplant programs reporting to SRTR for this cohort, Tampa General Hospital ranks #8 by 1-year graft survival, placing the center 14.5 percentage points above the national benchmark. SRTR releases updated Program-Specific Reports approximately twice yearly (typically May and November), and each release incorporates a rolling cohort that may lag by 6-18 months because survival outcomes require follow-up. This page reflects the November 2025 release and is not medical advice — discuss these figures with a qualified transplant team in the context of your individual health status.
